Instead of selecting gnome desktop, I opted for installing system utilities.
Then I checked the availability for telugu fonts and found it was installed.
I installed gnome-core, xorg and then gdm and found no issue with login
screen in Telugu.
The earlier attempt where telugu font display as unicode characters issue
was done through a Virtual OS software. May be the problem was related to
something else. Anyway I will try a Live debian CD soon to check whether
the problem exists for installation on physical disks.
